2 System 15, System XFR and Drain-GuardTM, the TOP-TO-BOTTOM STANDARD in Noncombustible Buildings From parking garages to hospitals to high-rise buildings, more and more mechanical contractors and engineers are switching to a long-lasting DWV solution. Why are DWV systems from IPEX becoming the new standard? As an integrated solution, they meet all code requirements for noncombustible buildings. More importantly, they provide the required rugged reliability with all the added benefits of PVC. They re lighter than their metal counterparts, making them easier to handle and install. Very durable, they resist corrosion and require virtually no maintenance. And they yield substantial cost savings both now and down the road. Clearly System 15, System XFR and Drain- Guard TM have raised the bar and pipe for DWV systems in noncombustible buildings. IPEX not only provides a superior alternative to cast iron, it is easy for a crew to transition their skill set from installing cast iron to PVC systems virtually overnight. With both onsite and online solvent cement training and 24/7 technical support, why go with any other DWV system?

3 SYSTEM 15 PVC DWV PIPE & FITTINGS DWV SYSTEM BENEFITS LIGHTWEIGHT, EASIER TO INSTALL A PVC system is as much as 75% lighter than equivalent lengths of cast iron, making it easier to handle, store and install. It s so light no special equipment is needed to hoist it up during installation, making what used to be awkward, back-breaking work now an easy oneman job for smaller sizes. In this way, a PVC system can lower labour requirements and reduce installation costs. CORROSION RESISTANT, LESS MAINTENANCE Unlike cast iron pipe, a PVC system doesn t rust, pit, scale or corrode. In fact, its interior and exterior walls remain smooth in virtually any service condition, requiring virtually no maintenance and ensuring years of reliable service. LONG-TERM SAVINGS No matter how you look at it, a PVC system is more cost-effective than a traditional metal system. It s less costly to transport and store. It s easier to install, bringing down installation costs. It lasts longer. What this all adds up to is substantial savings now and in the future. A MORE AESTHETIC ALTERNATIVE Sleek and streamlined, PVC presents a more pleasing, aesthetic alternative to traditional metal systems. And as they won t rust and degrade, your PVC system will look as good in ten years as it does the day you install it.

4 THE ECONOMICAL CHOICE FOR CONTRACTORS & ENGINEERS As an investment, System 15 is a winner. It s a costeffective workhorse designed for the majority of low-rise and light commercial applications where DWV systems don t run through air plenums. In addition to costing less than cast iron, System 15 pipe and fittings are engineered to withstand years of uninterrupted service. Made of tough, impact resistant PVC, System 15 will not corrode, even under continued exposure to moisture, salts, aggressive soils and most acids. Interior and exterior walls remain smooth, ensuring years of reliable, maintenance-free flow. As well, System 15 is lightweight and easy to handle, making installation even in confined or awkward wall spaces fast and easy. There s no need to pay for special hoisting equipment or extra manpower. This all converts to significant cost savings over copper and cast iron piping. Do the math: System 15 is an unbeatable, cost-effective investment now and for years to come. FEATURES & BENEFITS FLAME SPREAD When tested to the CAN/ULC-S102.2 Standard, System 15 achieved a Flame Spread Rating of not greater than 25. COST EFFECTIVE Lightweight. Easy to handle. Fast installation with no special equipment required. Substantial project cost savings over traditional piping materials. BROAD RANGE OF SIZES CSA certified in sizes from 1-1/2" to 24" in diameter. The most extensive DWV package available in North America. LONG-TERM RELIABILITY System 15 performs well under constant use in harsh environments corrosive to other materials. IMPACT RESISTANCE The high impact strength of System 15 reduces jobsite damage and wastage. SIMPLE JOINING Solvent cementing eliminates the need for cumbersome tools and the hazards of torches on site. DIRECT BURIAL Suitable for both above- and below-grade applications, eliminating the transition to other pipe materials at grade level.

5 THE WORLD S FIRST PVC RATED FOR HIGH RISES & PLENUMS Contractors installing DWV pipe in high buildings and plenums had few alternatives to heavy cast iron and copper. IPEX has changed that. System XFR is the world s first PVC DWV system rated for high buildings and air plenums where the National Building Code mandates more stringent Flame Spread and Smoke Development requirements which previously limited the use of thermoplastic. Suitable for use in noncombustible environments, System XFR s advanced material has a Flame Spread Rating of 25 and Smoke Developed Classification of 50 which permits it to be installed in High Buildings and Air Return Plenums in accordance with local Codes. And in addition to its flame and smoke attributes, System XFR delivers all the performance advantages you d expect from thermoplastic piping. FEATURES & BENEFITS FLAME & SMOKE System XFR possesses superior fire- and smoke- retardant capabilities. When tested to the CAN/ULC Standard, System XFR achieved a Flame Spread Rating of not greater than 25 and a Smoke Developed Classification of not greater than 50. CODE COMPLIANCE Ideal for noncombustible applications, System XFR meets these national and provincial building codes: High-rise buildings as defined by NBC article Air plenums as defined by NBC article Noncombustible construction as defined by NBC article Penetrating a rated fire separation as defined by NBC article (4) RANGE OF SIZES Sizes range from 1-1/2" to 12" in diameter. HIGH IMPACT RESISTANCE Thanks to its advanced materials, System XFR demonstrates a high impact strength in cold temperatures. Impact-tested at 0 ºC and 23 ºC, XFR is tough enough to exceed the CSA requirements. IMPROVED FLOW System XFR has a substantially lower roughness factor compared to metal systems, allowing for overall improved flow. It s also made with a larger inside diameter which provides a greater cross-sectional area for flow and raises both carrying capacity and flow rates. This feature gives engineers the versatility to design smaller, compact systems that can still handle the necessary flow rates. LOWER THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY System XFR sweats less than metal pipe due to its excellent insulating properties. As a result, XFR can reduce and in many cases, eliminate the need for insulation. COMPARABLE NOISE ATTENUATION In real world sound tests performed on constructed buildings, IPEX DWV systems have proven to provide comparable noise attenuation when compared to cast iron from drainage flow. Numerous installations from schools to hospitals and nursing homes have been plumbed with these IPEX drainage systems, all proving that in these critical installations the IPEX systems measure up in terms of sound transfer.
